Since I haven't been able to located gold bolts for my vskf's, where can you guys suggest I can have the bolts gold plated? I contacted dippedparts.com, and i'm still awaiting a reply. Have you guys done this before, and how did it hold up?

Southbay is littered with aerospace industry
plenty of plating houses that do it
usually done on a lot charge
so the more parts, the cheaper
just Yellow Pages plating houses

Hawaii could be tough

They do gold plating on Honda tech? Could you be more specific?

Yeah, no one in Hawaii does it. As a matter of fact, if i'm not mistaken, we don't even have any shops that chrome plate either. Hawaii blows, when it comes to specialized shops.
Oh, Mikey from dippedparts.com got back to me, so it looks like i'll be shipping my bolts up to him. He seems to do good work, from what i've seen.

I really don't care if a lot of Honda guys do it, if it's fashionable or not. If I think it looks nice, that's all that matters. Mods, i've found an answer to my question, so feel free to lock this up.
